Annotation:Nealy Coleman Diamond, the proud owner of Blue Diamond Farms, is a tough and demanding horsewoman who makes it her business to always win. When Nealy semi-retires, she cedes management of the farm to her daughter, Emmie--on the condition that Emmie live up to Nealy's own exacting standards. Emmie, an excellent horsewoman in her own right, has her own way of doing things but her style, which is very different from her mother's, soon disappoints the persnickety Nealy. Determined to prove to her mother that she has what it takes, Emmie enters into a bitter rivalry with Nealy to determine which of them will establish the future of the famous Blue Diamond Farm.

Author Bio

Fern Michaels

Fern Michaels grew up in Hastings, Pennsylvania, got married, and had five children before she picked up a pen to begin writing what would turn out be one best-selling romance after another. One of the most consistent bestselling romance writers of the '80s and '90s, Michaels writes mostly steamy historical romances with heavy doses of passion, seduction, and torrid adultery. Divorced from her first husband, she dedicates much of her time to philanthropic concerns, having set up the Fern Michaels Foundation, which grants scholarships to students in need. She also set up affordable pre-school and day-care centers for struggling single mothers.
